Candied Cupcakes
So, you’ve managed to whip up a batch of cupcakes but have no idea where to start with the icing?
Grab a packet of marshmallows and pop one on top of each for the last 5 minutes of baking for a sweet addition that can easily be decorated.
Festive Flapjacks
Nothing quite wakes up your taste buds from their slumber like flapjacks in the morning! Plus, they’re the perfect treat for the festive season because of how many you can make at a time. An important addition to any mix? Eggs.
And of course, that’s the one ingredient you’re missing. Don’t fret – unsweetened apple-sauce or mashed bananas are both great substitutes for eggs when it comes to baking.
Christmas Cookies
You’re well-impressed that your biscuits have emerged from the oven actually looking like Christmas trees only to realise you need to add the icing.
If your not-so-steady hands aren’t up for the job, use a syringe filled with icing to decorate your cookies with all sorts of shapes and colours.
The result? Lines so precise and dots so round you’ll consider doing this for a living!
Bettered Brownies
What good is the holiday season if not to overindulge in chocolate? Add a true South African spin to your next batch of brownies by cooking them on the braai. Yip, you read right!
All you’ll need is a cast iron pan to place them on to and before you know it, you’re left with puffy chocolatey treats that have a mouth-watering smokiness to them.
